I was re-watching Super Vocal because I felt like it, and I never noticed…. Because there is nothing to notice? He is completely hidden behind the lyrics box?  The team that put the ep together really did him dirty.

To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/freelance  /r/povertyfinance /r/thrifty /r/borrow /r/gofundme

/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

A friend of a friend of mine who’s a trans/nonbinary activist in Taipei recently shared their interview “去你的二元社會！跨性別者在台灣“ on the podcast “老娘腰子“, which I would really recommend if you’re at the podcast-listening level and would like to hear native speakers talking at length about trans and especially nonbinary issues in Mandarin (what are the options besides 帥哥 and 美女??). There’s no complete transcript but the link also includes a glossary of current, accurate terms in use in Taiwan (and definitions in Mandarin), plus guidelines for allies. I will share the glossary terms here (English translations were also provided in the text) but feel free to click through to read the rest~ Credit/Source: https://laoniangpodcast.medium.com/ “ 跨性別小辭典 “ 跨出去 kuà chūqù, 跨越 kuàyuè / transitioning, transition 性別重置手術 xìngbié chóng zhì shǒushù / gender affirmation/reassignment surgery 賀爾蒙療程 hè ěr méng liáochéng / hormone therapy (note: I have heard people say “打賀爾蒙” for “take hormones”)      平胸手術 píngxiōng shǒushù / top surgery 陰莖 yīnjīng／道 dào 重建手術 chóngjiàn shǒushù / bottom surgery 非二元 fēi èr yuán / non-binary  性別酷兒 xìngbié kù er / gender queer 性別流動 xìngbié liúdòng / gender fluid 無性別 wú xìngbié / agender 雙性別 shuāng xìngbié / bigender 性別認同  xìngbié rèntóng / gender identity 雙性人 shuāng xìng rén,  間性人 jiān xìng rén／intersex 跨性別 kuà xìngbié / transgender 變性人 biànxìng rén / transsexual (person) 順性別 shùn xìngbié / cisgender 出生指定性別 chūshēng zhǐdìng xìngbié / assigned gender at birth 性傾向 xìng qīngxiàng / sexuality  女同性戀  nǚ tóngxìngliàn / lesbian (adjective)  男同性戀 nán tóngxìngliàn／同性戀 / gay (of course 同志 is informal) 雙性戀  shuāngxìngliàn / bisexual  酷兒 kù er / queer 思考中 sīkǎo zhōng, 不確定 bù quèdìng / questioning 泛性戀 fànxìngliàn / pansexual 恐跨基進女性主義 kǒng kuà jī jìn nǚxìng zhǔyì /Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism (presumably you can just tack on 者 for “a TERF”)  中性代名詞 zhōng xìng dàimíngcí / gender neutral pronouns

Great music show to watch: Wo Men De Ge / Chinese Idol-Our Song

Rough summary of the show (1st season: 12 eps): Sixteen Chinese artists  (8 young artists; 8 famous veterans), have to form teams of 1 veteran + 1 young artist each. Once they form a pair, the veteran and young artist stay together, collaborate to create new performances each week, and compete with the other teams. The audience is divided into equal age groups and vote for their fave performance each turn. The final winner gets the title of “2-person team with a golden voice”. 

Reasons to watch, in no particular order:

So much mutual respect, camaraderie and mutual appreciation. It is a competition, but there is never any sense of aggression or desperate wish to be the best. Competitiveness is minimal. When one team performs, the others show such genuine enjoyment: It’s a playful appreciation of music, the stage and one another.

A wonderful side-effect of minimal competitiveness: there is so little drama. Everyone has debuted or had a career already, so it’s not intense like a real survival show.

Xiao Zhan is a special case, but many young artists are singers more than idols. When those young artists speak, it’s more unrefined and a bit blunter. You get the sense that they make offhand remarks cause they felt like it, and aren’t trying to be an “attractive” person. I cannot stress how much more charming and natural that makes the show. 

The veteran cast are big names in the Chinese music scene, but they’re all very fun. Every veteran can make fun of themselves, many are eager to try new things, and some are plain dorks. They get giddy, bicker, fumble…It makes the offstage parts just as fun as performances. Bonus: a nice part of Chinese culture is that an older person is not only respected but also has a sense of generosity for younger ones’ blunders ( “bao rong”). So whether they signed up for it or not, it’s like each of the young artists is getting an elder sister/brother/dad/uncle for the show’s duration. It’s very platonic and heartening to watch.

There’s a wide-ranging variety of songs and some are flat out gorgeous. Old Chinese songs are good. Some of them are surreal. But the show’s not just tributes to old classics, there are also new and western songs. I’m still sobbing about the classics. 

Some of the voices are beautiful sensory experiences. In the young ones: Zhou Shen, Liu Yuning, Ayanga. In the seniors: Fei Yuqing, Zhou Hua Jian, Luo Qi, Li Keqin, Na Ying, Angela Chang etc…When these people open their mouths to sing, you can hear that there’s substance regardless of age. Whoa. In terms of musical experience, this show has real substance.

You get to watch the teams’ chemistry grow over time. Some teams have great chemistry, I cannot stress this enough. Even the pairing-up process itself, based on blind auditions, is impish and fun. 

Whether you prefer a music-oriented group or an entertainment/performance-led group, you will be served. The 16 artists are first divided into Group A or B for pairing up and initial rankings. Broadly speaking, Group A’s young artists are more music-oriented (Xiao Gui, Zhou Shen, Liu Yuning, Xu Weizhou), while Group B’s are more performance/entertainment-led (Ayanga, Li Ziting, Xiao Zhan, Jiang Yiqiao). All 8 veterans start as singing-focused but again, Group B’s play more with entertainment than Group A. Depending on your preference, you’ll find something interesting to watch either way (and from ep. 7 onwards, Groups A and B get mixed). 

Despite the rough summary, the show’s format is not repetitive and evolves over the course of the season. You get different kinds of face-offs, promise. 

The MC is just right: He’s funny but not focused on being funny, has a good rapport with many of the artists, has depth and doesn’t go overboard with his remarks. 

This doesn’t sum up everything, but I have a lot of love for this show and it’s getting too long… 11 episodes have already been subbed so far, and by the looks of it, it is likely going to be fully subbed later on. Here is the link to the 1st Episode with English Subs. 

Whether it’s just because you love Xiao Zhan or for other reasons, give this show a shot! It’s really wholesome and good. ;__;
